The museum is the house of the man himself until he disappeared in 1967. No one really knows what happened to Mr. Thompson and no remains have ever been found. 

During his lifetime, Mr. Thompson amassed a massive collection of historical treasures and cultural trinkets that dating couples and tourists can enjoy. Aside from these artefacts, the museum is home to the progenitor of the TV, the Mouse House.

Interestingly, the owners of this establishment came up with an interesting backstory where the fictional owner of the haunted mansion used dark arts and black magic to bring his daughter back to life. This is all part of the fun and atmosphere, of course.

Most people who’ve tried this haunted experience claim that the jumpscares are for real. Customers will be chased by psychos, rooms that need traversing are pitch black, and scary screams echo the halls.

To cap the night off, guests who just got scared out of their wits can shop and dine via the different options available at Mansion 7 Bangkok. These include Gimmick Magic Shop, Hidden Closet, Neglected Garden, and Casper Burger, among others.
